About Me

I absolutely love to find free, exciting events to take my girls and I love to find cheap deals for me and the hubby as well. So I figured why not inform people about all the wonderful events (kid friendly and grown up) around our beautiful city. I am a proud mommy of 2 beautiful girls (ages 11 and 5) and am married. We love food & wine events!!! (LOL so we've been told). I will try to post events monthly, if there is an area that you'd like for me to explore just let me know. If there is a deal I will try to find it. Hope you can join me, my family and friends as we go Out and About!
